The United States is setting a fine example...

Russia should occupy Georgia before the unruly ex-Soviet republic ever joins NATO, a senior Russian lawmaker and leader of an ultra-nationalist party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, told a news conference on Monday.

The only effective solution to what he called “the Georgian issue” is the military attack on Tbilisi, Zhirinovsky is convinced.

“We should follow the example set by the U.S. and clamp down on Georgia, just as the Americans did with Iraq, depose the local Saddam Hussein, throw all the allies of Saakashvili into FSB prison cells, and then call a free democratic election in Georgia,” chairman of the Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) noted.
